And I just want to start off squealing by saying how I love the idea of Aus v NZ from a neutral/US perspective because I love the drama that is being brought based on nationality just from the promos, and I'm really excited to see more of it when it actually airs!

Question? Is there really a rivalry of sorts between Aussies and Kiwis? Seems weird...

Sort of, but it's all fun and games, and I'm kind of annoyed that producers are making the whole rivalry thing a part of the game, but I guess they have to keep things interesting for the viewers. I'd say the rivalry between Sydney and Melbourne is on par!

I love the rivalry they've done here. In sport, there is some rivalry between Aus and NZ and between Farlap, Pavlova, Russell Crowe etc. there has been some rivalry - but it's all friendly! For me - the concept of Aussies vs. Kiwi's is really awesome!

There isn't much of a rivalry between Aussie and Kiwi teams, and they have a whole "vs." thing. Maybe there could be a special "Canada vs. USA" Season. I think it would be interesting.
